On Rathausplatz, Martin-Luther-Platz, along Philippine-Welser-Straße, in Maximilianstraße and in front of Moritzkirche, the stalls of one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany - the Augsburg Christmas Market - are lined up. Around one million visitors from Germany and abroad enjoy its wonderful atmosphere every year. As you stroll through the festively illuminated streets of stalls, you will find a rich and special range of Christmas articles.
The Augsburg Christkindlesmarkt is considered one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany and is based on over 500 years of tradition.
The market was first mentioned in 1498 and has been held on the Rathausplatz square since 1963. The Renaissance architecture of the town hall and the Perlachturm tower form a historically appealing backdrop for the Christmas market.
Be enchanted by the Engelesspiel, which is modeled on Hans Holbein's famous altar angels and performed on the façade of Augsburg Town Hall. A varied supporting program will guide you through the pre-Christmas season in an atmospheric way.
